RP2040 Gets Intellikeys Keyboard Up And Running hackaday.com/2023/04/29/rp20…

The RP2040 Feather with USB Host lets us use Intellikeys with an iPad the Intellikeys is a popular accessibility device with custom overlays, that is no longer supported. even though it has a USB plug it doesn't work like many USB devices: it doesn't enumerate as an HID keyboard, instead it downloads the firmware from the computer driver! that means it'll never work with many modern devices ike chromebooks or iPads...unless you've got a specialized device like the RP2040 Feather with two USB ports! we've loaded Thach's Intellikeys translator (github.com/adafruit/Adafruit…) arduino sketch and it even does overlay detection so that when we switch out the paper it will enumerate as a different HID device. the code and hardware is all open source, so it can be maintained and improved for a very long time.

📣 #DeskOfLadyada update: Progress on replacing '32u4 & samd21 based feathers! 🎉 Proto PCBs for E-Ink & USB Host Feathers arrived. Excited to test USB Host Feather for HID projects & Intellikeys adaptive tech keypad. 🖥️🖱️youtu.be/VbZQR-9xfi8 LIVE at 9pm ET!

Amazing thread featuring lots of keyboards which are #AssistiveTechnology. Shame the Intellikeys and BigKeys shown on initial post don't make the top 50. Why's that @mwichary?

Crankin' out #IntelliKeys adapters while I'm in the workshop! We're the last line of defense for folks with #CerebralPalsy who rely on these outdated but perfectly suited keyboards. Want to help? Learn more here: atmakers.org/intellikeys/int…

Intellikeys isn't dead, just as a reminder.... atmakers.org/intellikeys #ATchat

Intellikeys USB keyboards are a great tool for students who need AT. It's built to help students who may struggle physically, or visually and need help navigating their way through the keyboard. #EDSP454-21

❤️ seeing the rescued #Intellikeys in this picture. @at_makers

Hey All! We work w/ATMakers on Intellikeys Adapters. We currently need 2 QWERTY/WA Keyguards for folks using the Intellikeys. If you have any of these keyguards stored & would love to find a good home, please reach out! ❤️@at_makers @brycej @stevenspohn @MakerMakeChange

There used to be a program called Aldo's pianito that worked through intellikeys. I would be curious what you could do with the makey makey set up. That may be a good path to start since you can use a variety of things to act as conductors

Working on an #Intellikeys Keyguard for one of our #FIRSTwithAT Intellikeys Beta Adapter Testers! @wernedat @at_makers @CEO_ATIA @pkyongedrs #DesignThinking #IntellikeysBetaAdapter #assistivetechnology #outreach

Great memories at the last @ATIAorg in person. One year we got stuck a few extra days because of the accident at the airport. #ATchat #ATIA2021 #ATIAflashback I also geeked out for Intellikeys @wernedat & loved EdCamp!

It looks like something we brought for Dylan to use for communication its called a IntelliKeys board you can design custom keyboard for that ever you want to use it for.Dylan now uses his iPad and app called proloquo2go to help him when his with his day placement ⚫️⚪️🔵

Tried out my intellikeys beta adapter today. Intro video extremely helpful. Easy setup. Thank you @FRCRiptide4118 & @at_makers . One Problem. I don't have the correct inserts!! Does anyone know where I can buy them? Please halp.

Our #Gainesville Florida Chapter adapts toys, creates switches, custom #AssistiveTech like updating the code in #intellikeys AAC devices. Thx for being so awesome!

Shipping out another 7 #Intellikeys Beta Adapters today to users in TX, TN, NY, MI, WA, & NC! 🌊#assistivetechnology #FIRSTwithAT #roaringriptide #morethanrobots #outreach @FRCRiptide4118 @MakerMakeChange @pkyongedrs @at_makers @wernedat @brycej

Threw together a quick prototype USB-C Shim board. Takes two @adafruit QTPy boards & lets you use them as a USB Filter. Should use similar code to our IntelliKeys adapter (which is Trinket M0 based). Sending to @PCBWayOfficial for a prototype run :-)

Sooooo I love ya, Bryce, but.... that bug I have filed would have potentially eliminated this issue :-) The two trinkets they use is actually a great solution: we use it on the intellikeys and have a case if they need it

@ArjanKhalsa thanks for being there tonight to thank my friends at @FRCRiptide4118 for their work to rescue Intellikeys! #MoreThanRobots

Intellikeys STILL are amazing products.... atmakers.org/Intellikeys #ATChat
